Complex Fields

Blesta supports ModuleFields up to two levels deep. This allows you to easily create a set of checkboxes or radio buttons associated with a single field.

class MyModule extends Module { 

    ...

    public function getPackageFields($vars=null) {

        $fields = new ModuleFields();
        $my_label = $fields->label("My Field Label", "my_field_id");

##
# TODO: FINISH THIS EXAMPLE
#
##		// Create a field label displayed next to the checkbox
		$field_label = $fields->label("My Value", "my_field_my_value_id");

        // Create and attach the field to the label, set as checked (3rd param) if necessary
        $my_label->attach($fields->fieldCheckbox("my_field_name", "my_value", (isset($vars->my_field_name) && $vars->my_field_name == "my_value"), array('id' => "my_field_my_value_id"), $field_label));
